Why Study with Us?

Our 2006 NLP Trainer's Training will be the 21st Annual Trainer's Training and Certification. That means that for the past 21 years, Advanced Neuro Dynamics and now the Empowerment Partnership, has been training people to become Trainers of Neuro Linguistic Programming. Over the past 21 years we have trained more people as Certified Trainers of NLP than anyone else in the world -- actually thousands of people. There are other trainer's trainings that will not certify you as an NLP Trainer -- we do! This is important to you, because it means that you have the best chance of being certified as a trainer, and the best chance of being a success when you study with us. Our graduates are the most successful NLP and Hypnosis trainers in the world. (For references from some of our graduates, see our Business Opportunity.) If you really want to be a successful Trainer then you really must consider this training. (While success varies for each graduate, our graduates are the most successful as full-time trainers of NLP and Hypnosis.) Even if you do not want to become a full-time NLP trainer, this training will help you to become the most magnificent presenter of your ideas possible. Click here to enroll in this training.

 

Here is a recent letter from one of our Graduates of the 2002 Trainer's Training:

"So you think you’re trainers now… "This was your closing line at the certification ceremony last year in LA. Those words have lived a life on their own in my mind, since then. After the training and good holidays right after the training. The feeling of being a trainer began to sink in. So you think you’re trainers now… "First of all thank you very much for the great education I have received. It has been my plan since spring last year to really be an NLP trainer. And I wanted to get certified, you brought me more however. For example, I am still working for an international software company, and after I had followed the trainers training I am ranked number 1 consistently on my presentations in the company. To combine every day life’s metaphors with extremely technical presentations, was challenging at first. After a few tries it really began to work. And it keeps working. So, it already brings me a lot of good things in my 'normal' career. "I have been thinking about doing NLP training ever since the training. I was already doing some small 'practice' trainings for a small audience since then. This was good for exercise; it also made me realize that I want to do the real thing. A real group with a lot of people. Also people that I don’t know. This was going to be the kick. "First of all, I like to give trainings with other people. Also has to do with my metaprograms, I like to play in teams. And I belief that there is a lot more flexibility in doing trainings with more people. ... "I also want to thank you very much for putting in the Dutch slide set in my trainers disk, this is very useful and now I also have the huge advantage of being able to use your manuals. We translate them into Dutch, and we add our own things to it. We have put a large thank you in our preface and we are addressing your copyright rights here. ... "However, am I just writing a thank you mail? No, definitely not..,. "I want to sign up for the Master Trainers program. I have started my first training now, together with Gail. And now after two lessons I am sure. I love this job! I am in for master trainer program."

There is a major opportunity in the field of NLP for trainers to train people in NLP. We can show you how to be successful as an NLP Trainer.

 

What does it take to be a Trainer?

1. Walk the talk To teach something is not necessarily to have mastered it, but the great teachers of the world "walk their talk." They live, breathe, and exude the principles of their teaching. Knowledge is great, but when coupled with behavior, it's much more powerful. Amazingly, there are some very famous NLP trainers in the world that don't even demonstrate rapport skills on a regular basis! At Advanced Neuro Dynamics, however, we like to lead by example.

2. Success While the fame of a trainer or organization isn't the be-all, end-all, it is still an important indicator of the value that an organization provides to participants. Formerly Advanced Neuro Dynamics and now the Empowerment Partnership, has been conducting NLP trainings since 1982, and we've done Trainer's Trainings for 17 years. According to 1992 Dunn and Bradstreet figures, we're the largest NLP organization in the world. And certainly Matt is one of the most famous NLP trainers in the world. We consistently have over 97% "excellent" and "good" ratings from our participants, and we have a very high degree of repeat customers, who are obviously satisfied with our offerings. Tad became successful and famous in the field not from being the creator of NLP, nor from being a writer; he did it by presenting excellent, effective trainings - and that's what we're all about!

3. Who does the teaching? At The Empowerment Partnership, we love to teach. Our other Master Trainers love to teach. Our Certified Trainers love to teach. That's why we're here, and that's why we do the Trainer's Training. "This training was the most exquisite learning and growing experience that I have ever had. The perfection of how everything was layered in astounds me." -- Nan Murray, Dallas, Texas When you attend this training with Advanced Neuro Dynamics, you study with Master Trainers. You don't get a short introduction from, then a training from the apprentices. You don't get people you've never heard about. And you don't get a sub-standard training. At Advanced Neuro Dynamics, you get the best, because we love to train!

4. How long is the training? While there's no ideal amount of time needed for a Trainer's Training, you need time you to do presentations, to see great trainers in action, and to master the material. Since we do more than just presentation skills, we take more than just 6 or 7 days; we think it takes longer to do a great Trainer's Training.

5. What kinds of trainings do your presenters teach? It's one thing to be able to present NLP, but it's quite another to make presentations to business groups, or New Age groups, or to do any other kind of group work. Of course, The Empowerment Partnership presents some of the best NLP trainings in the world, but we also present a wide variety of other trainings to an even wider variety of people. "As a teacher, this is the best 'classroom' experience that I have ever experienced. The training design is excellent and all teachers would profit greatly from this training.!!" --Mary Donecker, East Petersburg, Pennsylvania. We teach The Empowering Your Life® seminar to the general public. We teach Sales Trainings to business people. We teach Time Empowerment® Techniques trainings to the therapeutic community. We even teach Hawaiian Huna to people with more esoteric interests. And all these different types of trainings have one thing in common -- our participants love them! You need different skills to teach in different markets, and we provide them to you.

6. How is information presented? The variety of NLP trainers in the world is tremendous. There are trainers who are delightful entertainers, fantastic storytellers, great hypnotists, and useful "data-dumpers." We think it takes all of these skills, and more, to present a great Trainer's Training, so we place emphasis on all of them. As amazing as it seems, participants have told us about Trainer's Trainings that will bore you! Or intimidate you! Or drain you! Obviously, you need something else. Our training will entertain you, challenge you, delight you, impress you, engage you, support you, encourage you, empower you with confidence and competence. Just ask our participants! "I've been in various Trainer's Trainings at least 4 times before, and have taught in the computer industry for 16 years and I have never experienced such incredible in-depth teaching before." -- Frank Tralongo, Los Gatos, California.
